Founded in December 2022, Cloud Navi was established by engineers and business professionals with over 10 years of experience in the cloud industry. The founding team includes members who led business development for Alibaba Cloud Japan, providing deep insights and a proven track record in cloud adoption and localization for Japanese enterprises.

In the AI domain, Cloud Navi is fully deploying localized implementation support for multimodal AI solutions, utilizing Alibaba Cloud's large language model (LLM) "Qwen," as well as image and video generation models like "Wan" and "HappyHorse." They provide one-stop support ranging from generative AI API integration, prompt design, and fine-tuning with industry-specific data, to on-premises deployment and A/B testing, helping Japanese companies achieve safe and effective AI implementation.

### Three Key Strategic Pillars as a Distributor

As an Alibaba Cloud distributor in Japan, Cloud Navi will drive its business based on the following three strategic pillars:

1. Continuous Expansion of Cloud Customer Base
The company will provide comprehensive cloud services, including optimal cloud architecture design, migration support, MSP operational support, cost optimization, and security measures for both existing and new clients.

2. Expansion of Tier-2 Partner Ecosystem
Cloud Navi will strengthen collaboration with ISVs, SIers, and IT service providers to build a local ecosystem capable of meeting diverse industry needs. They aim to promote mutual growth through sales support, technical assistance, and joint proposals.

3. Local Deployment of AI Solutions
The company will promote the development of industry-specific AI solutions by integrating Alibaba Cloud's advanced AI models—such as the "Qwen" LLM and "Wan"/"HappyHorse" image and video generation models—with the actual operations of Japanese enterprises. They will support AI utilization in various use cases, including business process efficiency, knowledge management, customer support, and content generation.

### Alibaba Cloud AI Models: Next-Generation Foundation for Japanese Enterprise AI Adoption

Cloud Navi positions the "full-scale localized implementation of AI solutions" as a central pillar of its mid-to-long-term strategy. At its core are Alibaba Cloud's advanced AI models, starting with the large language model "Qwen."

Qwen is one of the world's leading open-source LLMs, demonstrating superior performance in multilingual support, contextual understanding, and industry-specific customization.
